Stefan Salvatore will be a hero in Mystic Falls again in the new season. Wesley teased that his vampire characters is determined to protect the town from his Ripper mother, Lily Salvatore (Annie Wersching), and her family of Heretics after they escaped the 1903 prison world of the Gemini Coven.

Wesley shared that Lily and her family of vampire-witch hybrids want to live in Mystic Falls in peace but a chain of events pushed them into killing the innocent residents of Mystic Falls. Stefan, Caroline Forbes (Candice King) and Matt Donovan (Zach Roerig) tried to get rid of the Heretics but their plan failed, so Lily’s family ruthlessly retaliated.

The deal that Stefan and Lily made in order to maintain peace and order in Mystic Falls has also been broken when Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) and Bonnie Bennett (Kat Graham) killed Heretic Malcom (Justice Leak). The Mystic Falls gang will be finding a way to defeat the new and powerful threats that arrived and caused trouble in town.

Wesley further teased that Stefan will also be focused on his new love interest, Caroline Forbes (Candice King). As the new season progresses, Wesley revealed that the Stefan-Caroline or “Steroline” romance will also develop from their friendship.

When asked if there will be any other characters important to Stefan, Wesley teased that the TVD fans will get to know a vampire named Julian (Todd Lasance), the man that Lily has fallen in-love with after becoming a vampire. “We’ll discover that he altered the direction of Stefan’s life significantly,” Wesley added.

The TVD fans can consider Julian as another villain in the CW TV because Wesley revealed that the vampire character does something that is extremely awful. “The Vampire Diaries” Season 7 returns with episode 4 titled “I Carry Your Heart with Me” on Thursday night, Oct. 29, at 8/7c on the CW Network.
